1. A method for photothermal synthesis gas production, the method comprising the steps of:

feeding methane and carbon dioxide into a photothermal reactor, the photothermal reactor comprising a catalyst;

reforming the methane and carbon dioxide to produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen;

wherein the catalyst comprises a metal organic framework (MOF) derived nanocomposite oxide catalyst, wherein the oxide is three-dimensional (3D) cobalt oxide dodecahedral crystals, and wherein the catalyst comprises exfoliated graphitic carbon nitride, the MOF derived nanocomposite oxide catalyst being grown on titanium dioxide (TiO₂) quantum dots.
